The Roy Jay Band has made a name for itself as of late opening gigs for Little Feat, Donna the Buffalo, and The Radiators. On September 7, the group will build on this momentum through the release of a new studio album. Joy Ray is the title of the new disc, which moves from mellow country songs to all out rockers. The group will support the album during an East Coast tour in September, opening for Donna the Buffalo.

The Roy Jay Band will next perform on Tuesday, August 30 in Orlando, FL at Underground Bluz.
